Resumming Kerr Quasinormal-Mode Frequencies: Accuracy and Breakdown Near Extremality

Jierui Hu, Kent Yagi, Nicolas Yunes

Kerr black-hole quasinormal modes are usually computed with numerical methods, but analytic approximations remain useful for identifying the physics that controls different parts o…

Gravitational waves of quasi-circular, inspiraling black hole binaries in an ultralight vector dark-matter environment

Tomás Ferreira Chase, Diana López Nacir, Nicolás Yunes

The gravitational waves emitted by massive black hole binaries can be affected by a variety of environmental effects, which, if detected, could inform astrophysics and cosmology. W…

Constraining dark-sector effects using gravitational waves from compact binary inspirals

Caroline B. Owen, Alexandria Tucker, Yonatan Kahn +1

Gravitational wave observations are a powerful tool to constrain fundamental physics. This work considers dark matter that carries charge under a dark abelian massive vector field.…

Better early than never: A new test for superluminal gravitational wave polarizations

Kristen Schumacher, Colm Talbot, Daniel E. Holz +1

In some beyond-Einstein theories of gravity, gravitational waves can contain up to six polarizations, which are allowed to propagate at different speeds faster than light. These di…

Improved Analytic Love-C Relations for Neutron Stars

Tristen Lowrey, Kent Yagi, Nicolás Yunes

Precise measurements of neutron star observables (such as mass and radius) allow one to constrain the equations of state for supranuclear matter and develop a stronger understandin…

Systematic biases due to waveform mismodeling in parametrized post-Einsteinian tests of general relativity: The impact of neglecting spin precession and higher modes

Rohit S. Chandramouli, Kaitlyn Prokup, Emanuele Berti +1

We study the robustness of parametrized post-Einsteinian (ppE) tests of General Relativity (GR) with gravitational waves, due to waveform inaccuracy. In particular, we determine th…
